Have you tried it again after car has cooled down? Mine would release when it cooled off, but it was the end of the line for that box. I doubt that repairs are economic for a 5-speed, but OTOH they are all starting to age now.

On YouTube there is a video on how to unstick it.. I think it was from that miata king guy. He opens a cap on the side of the box and pops it back.
